[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2988015, member: 109113"] Well, the guy is right, but there's a better way. When you trim the calories out of your diet, get rid of the starchy ones. If you cut out anything white ( except eggs ) and all sugar, and the weight will go away quickly. Soda pop and fruit juices are the absolute worst things to drink, as they all end up being stored as fat on your frame. Getting rid of those alone will make a HUGE difference. You will soon want to add an extra meal every day, but make it like the rest - high in protein, low in carbs, and the fat that comes with the protein portion will be the right amount for you. If you get all of your carbs from green vegetables and fruits ( only eat fruits that have a lot of fiber ) you will lose body fat at a rapid rate and feel very energetic. This will greatly improve your exercise, which will build muscle mass. As you build more muscle, you will burn body fat even faster. Your sleep will also improve, both in duration and in quality.
